How People-Pleasing Causes Disease

Many times we have a strong urge to please others, but unfortunately it can be at our own expense -- putting our own needs behind everyone else's. While not a clinical diagnosis, people pleasing goes beyond kindness, generousity and altruism. Mothers are a prime target. We all want to love and be loved. However, when we adapt our behaviors to gain favor and sacrifice our own needs, we can get addicted to feeling useful, loved or important. But this can be harmful, especially when it becomes compulsive and lead to codependendy. Listen in to learn the difference between people pleasing, codependency and what you can do about it before it causes disease. Be sure to check out my podcast companion workbook, Why Is My Body Betraying Me? at drskyler.net/store. It's like having a one-on-one session with me.
